Inherent envelope fluctuations in forward masking: Effects of age and hearing loss

MA Brennan, A Svec, A Farhadi, BN Maxwell… - The Journal of the …, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
Forward masking is generally greater for Gaussian noise (GN) than for low-fluctuation noise
maskers, ie, GN disruption. Because the minimal hearing loss that is associated with older …

Simultaneous and forward masking of vowels and stop consonants: Effects of age, hearing loss, and spectral sha**

D Fogerty, WJ Bologna, JB Ahlstrom… - The Journal of the …, 2017 - pubs.aip.org
Fluctuating noise, common in everyday environments, has the potential to mask acoustic
cues important for speech recognition. This study examined the extent to which acoustic …

Forward masking of the speech-evoked auditory brainstem response

SE Hodge, DC Menezes, KD Brown… - Otology & …, 2018 - journals.lww.com
Background: Older listeners exhibit deficits in forward masking. If forward-masked sABRs
provide an objective measure of the susceptibility of speech sounds to prior stimulation, then …

Masking of short tones in noise: Evidence for envelope-based, rather than energy-based detection

SG Jennings, J Chen - The Journal of the Acoustical Society of …, 2020 - pubs.aip.org
The “temporal effect” in simultaneous masking may be characterized by better probe
detection thresholds for a short, tonal probe presented at the temporal center of a masker …

[HTML][HTML] Amplitude-modulation forward masking for listeners with and without hearing loss

A Svec, M Wojtczak, PB Nelson - JASA Express Letters, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
Amplitude-modulation (AM) forward masking was measured for listeners with normal
hearing and sensorineural hearing loss at 4000 and 1000 Hz, using continuous and …

Word identification with temporally interleaved competing sounds by younger and older adult listeners

KS Helfer, SF Poissant, GR Merchant - Ear and hearing, 2020 - journals.lww.com
Objectives: The purpose of this experiment was to contribute to our understanding of the
nature of age-related changes in competing speech perception using a temporally …

Effects of masker envelope fluctuations on the temporal effect

SG Jennings, K Sivas, C Stone - Journal of the Association for Research …, 2018 - Springer
Under certain conditions, detection thresholds in simultaneous masking improve when the
onset of a short sinusoidal probe is delayed from the onset of a long masker. This …
